Since she was from a wealthy family, why would she marry a child bride?
A child bride was willing to give so much money, and she even came to another county to look for someone. She said that her birth characters were compatible. All of this was a lie.
It turned out that the so-called child bride was just a story made up by Fang De and his wife. What the Lu family wanted was for the little girl to be buried with their son. They wanted their son to have a companion when he went underground.
That money was money to buy lives.
" His father..." Madam Yang listened in a daze for a long time before she suddenly let out a wail. Then, her body went limp and she fell from the stool to the ground.
" His mother…" Fang Yu quickly went to support Madam Yang.
Madam Yang's eyes were tightly shut. She suddenly knew the truth and could not take the blow. She had already fainted.
Fang Yun quickly went forward and pinched Yang shi's philtrum. After a while, Yang shi slowly woke up.
Fang Ru, Fang Ping, and Xin 'er had already surrounded them.
Madam Yang saw Xiner and immediately pulled her into her arms.
" Xiner, my Xiner..." Madam Yang wailed.
Xiner also cried.
Fang Ru and Fang Ping also understood what was going on and started crying.
Fang Yun didn't cry. He just gritted his teeth.
Madam Yang and the others were crying together, attracting the attention of many passersby.
The two merchants were at a loss.
"What's going on? What's going on?”Even if they were relatives of the Zhao family, they shouldn't be crying so miserably.
A peddler called out to Fang Yun,"Little brother, what kind of relatives are you and the Zhao family?”
"We don't know anyone from the Zhao family. Our surname is Fang, and we're from Seven Mile Village.”Fang Yun said.
"Then what's going on?" The merchant was surprised." Why are you crying?”
"This isn't the Fang Family's Fourth Brother."
Among the onlookers, there were people from Qilitun who recognized Fang Yu." Aiyo, that's their daughter. They said that she was going to be sent to the neighboring county to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family…"
The two merchants understood what he meant. Afraid of causing trouble, they quickly paid the bill and were about to leave.
Fang Yu's eyes were red as he pulled one of them.
"Big brother, let me ask you, is what you said true?”
" What…what did we say?"
"The Lu Hechuan family married a child bride for their youngest son just to be buried with him. Is this true?”
A traveling merchant was afraid of trouble and quickly denied it.
"Isn't it true? This matter was not considered a secret in Yongning County.”The other person guessed that Xiner was the young lady who had wanted to sell her to the Lu family in the first place and could not stand it anymore." What were your parents doing back then? Why are you trying to clear your name at this time?”
"This matter seems to have been decided by their eldest brother outside.”Someone who knew the inside story said.
In the countryside, families were close to each other. It could be said that the sound of chickens and dogs could be heard. There was almost no privacy.
As long as any family had something to do, even if they wanted to keep it a secret, the entire village would know in the blink of an eye.
This town was only a few miles away from Qilitun. People from the village often came to town and knew each other. Many people in town knew about the Fang family.
When the two merchants heard this, they were even more unwilling to say anything. They hurriedly shook off Fang Yu and left.
The traveling merchant left, but the crowd did not disperse. They were all discussing animatedly.
Some of the people at the tea stall heard the two merchants talking, and they couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
Fang Yu was an adult man after all. He was the first to calm down and help Madam Yang up.
Madam Yang just hugged Xiner and refused to let go. When someone tried to talk to her, she ignored them and just cried in a daze.
There were also people who became indignant after hearing a few words.
"Now you know how to cry and can't bear to part with me? How could he bear to do so at that time? He was blinded by the silver.”
"She's not your biological daughter, right? She's probably your stepmother.”
"This is his biological son, so the Zhao family is also his biological son. I know that they have a lot of children and are so poor that they can't afford to eat. 300 taels of silver is enough to marry a few sons and buy a few acres of land. They won't have to worry for the rest of their lives.”
"Is the Fang family like this too?"
"Don't blame the poor person wrongly. I heard from our aunt who married into their Seven Mile Village that it was the eldest son of the Fang family who made the decision outside. You don't know their family. Fourth Brother and his wife are both honest people. They are completely controlled by their old lady.”
"Then the old lady also knows about the matter of spending money to buy her life, so she hid it from the two of them?”
"I don't dare to say."
"I think so."
Fang Yu listened to everyone's discussion and felt his ears buzzing. He forced himself to enter the blacksmith shop.
"Brother Feng, I'm going back. I'll take the repaired ones back first. Leave the unfinished ones here. I'll come back tomorrow to get them.”Fang Yu said to Blacksmith Feng.
Blacksmith Feng, who was in the shop, also knew what had just happened.
"I've fixed it for you." Blacksmith Feng looked at Fang Yu with pity and handed him a few farming tools.
"Brother Feng, how much is this?”
"It's still the original price. You can estimate it yourself. It's 110 wen.”Blacksmith Feng said straightforwardly.
Fang Yu took out his money pouch and poured out all the money Luo had given him. He counted it and found that there were only eighty wen.
"Big Brother Feng, I only brought 80 copper coins. Why don't you take this money first? I'll leave two pickaxes as collateral and send the money I owe tomorrow.”
Blacksmith Feng looked at Fang Yu with even more sympathy.
The farmers would rather freeze and starve themselves, but they were willing to spend money on farming tools.
Moreover, most of the old farmers could estimate how much the repairs would cost and would bring enough money.
It was extremely rare to come to the blacksmith shop to repair farm tools without enough money. It was even rarer to see someone like Fang Yu who had so little money.
" What's there to keep?" Blacksmith Feng took the money." Take it all. Bring the money to me when you're free in town. There's no hurry."”
Fang Yu quickly thanked Blacksmith Feng, packed up the sickle and pickaxe, and placed them on the cart. Yang Shi's legs were still weak and she could not walk.
Fang Ru and Fang Ping helped Madam Yang into the car.
Madam Yang was still in a daze and was still crying. She still refused to let go of Xiner.
"Go home and settle the score with them!" Fang Yun gritted his teeth.
Fang Yu silently pushed the cart back.
There were also busybodies following them from a distance. Only when they left the town did they all disperse.
Fang Yu's footsteps also slowed down, as if his legs were dragging a thousand pounds of weight.
Madam Yang had already cried herself hoarse. Along the way, everyone tacitly maintained their silence.
